Ella Fitzgerald
Boy! What Love Has Done to Me!
[Verse 1]
I fetch his slippers
Fill up the pipe he smokes
I cook the kippers
Laugh at his oldest jokes
Yet here I anchor
I might have had a banker
Boy, what love has done to me
[Verse 2]
His nature's funny
Quarrelsome half the time
And as for money
He hasn't got a dime
And here's the joker
I might have had a broker
Boy, what love has done to me
[Bridge]
When a guy looks my way
Does he get emphatic?
Say he gets dramatic
I just want to fly away
But if I left him I'd be all at sea
[Verse 3]
I'm just a slavey
Life is a funny thing
He's got the gravy
I got a wedding ring
And still I love him
There's nobody above him
Boy, what love has done to me
[Verse 4]
His brains are minus
Never a thought in sight
And yet His Highness
Lectures me day and night
Oh, where was my sense
To sign that wedding license?
Boy! What love has done to me!
[Verse 5]
My life he's wrecking
Bet you could find him now
Out somewhere necking
Somebody else's frau
You get to know life
When married to a lowlife
Boy, what love has done to me
[Bridge]
I can't hold my head up
The butcher, the baker
All know he's a faker
Brother, I am fed up
But I left him he'd be up a tree
[Verse 6]
Where will it wind up?
I don't know where I'm at
I make my mind up
I oughta leave him flat
But I have grown so
I love the dirty so-and-so
Boy! What love has done to me!
